"What?!"
Lou Yi was so shocked that he almost dropped the axe in his hand.
Although he was currently the strongest in martial arts within the Extre Fist Sect, and had achieved monuntal feats by saving the entire sect.
He had only joined the sect for less than a year.
And now they wanted to pass the position of Sect Leader to him, wasn’t that too hasty?
Of course, being a Sect Leader was impressive, and it provided access to the full resources of the sect, several tis more than an average disciple.
But, it was important to know that everywhere, power and responsibility are equal.
The livelihood of the sect, disciple training, strategy formulation, rewards, and punishnts, all these trivial matters had to be managed by the Sect Leader.
Lou Yi had the attribute panel and was not heavily reliant on resources, but rather needed a lot of ti to gather energy.
"I am shallow in talent and virtue, and have no experience in managing affairs, how can I take on the position of Sect Leader." Thinking of this, he hurriedly declined.
"We’re martial artists, the strongest one becos the Sect Leader, it’s reasonable!" Wei Youdao continued, "As for managent matters, we can take care of them for you, so you can focus on training."
For a genius like Lou Yi, Wei Youdao naturally wouldn’t want him to be entangled in mundane affairs.
The only major thing for Lou Yi was to practice martial arts.
As long as he was strong enough, the Extre Fist Sect would remain unshaken.
Hearing Wei Youdao say this, Lou Yi’s worries eased slightly, but he still refused to beco the Sect Leader.
The two sides debated for a long ti and finally ca up with a compromise:
Wei Youdao would remain the Sect Leader and handle all the affairs within the sect.
anwhile, a new position, Vice Sect Leader, would be established in the sect.
The Vice Sect Leader would enjoy almost the sa rights as the Sect Leader, but without the responsibilities, which seed tailor-made for Lou Yi.
Of course, awarding the position officially wouldn’t be so rushed, and a grand ceremony would follow to announce it widely.
"Co, let show you our sect’s treasured possession."
Seeing Lou Yi agree to beco the Vice Sect Leader, Wei Youdao was extrely pleased and led him to the Sect Leader’s Residence.
The so-called Sect Leader’s Residence, as the na suggested, was the dwelling of the Sect Leader.
The decor was simplistic, the furnishings minimal.
The outer room contained only a table, a chair, and a plaque, on which four bold characters were written: "Still Waters Run Deep".
The inner room consisted of a wooden bed, with an old yellow book placed beside the pillow.
However, this was just a superficial appearance.
When Wei Youdao slightly turned the red candlestick on the table with a gentle click sound.
The wall with the plaque began to slowly descend, revealing a secret chamber hidden within, just like in the martial arts dramas Lou Yi had seen in his previous life.
The secret chamber was only a dozen square feet, with several tal boxes on the floor that shimred with bright silver, seemingly made of Profound Iron.
The four walls, except one, were embedded with fluorite, illuminating the room as if it were daylight.
However, one wall was different, adorned only with a painting.
This was a very rare colored ink painting, the canvas slightly yellowed with age.
The painting depicted an eagle soaring high, wings outstretched, eyes resolute, aiming at the fiery red sun overhead.
Under the sun’s glow, its feathers were tinged with a hint of red, as if they were burning.
With just a glance, Lou Yi couldn’t move his eyes away.
In a trance.
He saw an eagle chasing the great sun.
No matter the strong winds, heavy rain, lightning, or whether it was scorched or shattered by the sun, its determination to pursue the sun never wavered.
The three streams of secret blood within him seed to react, expanding slightly, feeling warm and comfortable.
"This is..." Lou Yi was sowhat shocked.
Just a glance at this painting, and it stirred his secret blood within, wasn’t that too magical?
"This is the True Intent Chart passed down by the ancestors, it’s hundreds of years old." Wei Youdao said proudly, "Only the finest Breathing Techniques co with a True Intent Chart.
The true tradition of our Extre Fist Sect is top-notch even in the Wei Kingdom’s martial arts world!"
He then explained the wonders of the True Intent Chart to Lou Yi.
Every disciple who practiced the Yellow Extre Breathing Technique, upon their first serious observation of the True Intent Chart, would experience a significant enhancent in their understanding of the Breathing Technique.
Subsequent observations wouldn’t match the first ti’s efficacy but would still offer so increase.
However, each prolonged observation would cause so wear to the True Intent Chart, so no one would easily indulge.
"You take your ti in understanding this first; I’ll co back afterward." With that, Wei Youdao left for the outer room to protect Lou Yi.
Leaving Lou Yi alone, he sat cross-legged in front of the True Intent Chart in the secret chamber, carefully observing.
This ti, upon closer inspection, the scene before him changed again.
The entire picture transford from static to dynamic.
The eagle continued to flap its wings, chasing the blazing sun above, eyes resolute.
Despite its exhaustion and stifling heat, it never entertained the thought of giving up.
"Screech!"
It let out an indomitable cry.
One day, two days, three days...
The eagle kept flying, continuously pursuing, while the sun drew nearer and nearer.
Finally, one day, it reached the sun.
But its body and consciousness vanished instantly. It was unclear if it was lted by the sun or had completely rged into the sun.
Bang!
Lou Yi’s spirit exploded at that mont.
He felt as if he had beco the eagle in the painting, experiencing its pursuit of the sun and the fulfillnt of its dream.
In an instant of awareness, yet it was the eagle’s entire life.
His Yellow Extre Breathing Technique began to function spontaneously.
His chest heaved continuously, producing deep breathing sounds like a blower.
The three streams of secret blood flowed through his flesh, nding damaged ridians and absorbing residual energy.
The circulation path had noticeably changed but was evidently more rational and efficient.
The secret blood flowed faster and faster, reaching dozens of tis its usual speed at its peak!
Lou Yi’s skin flushed like a boiled lobster, muscles bulging, veins prominent.
Billows of white steam emanated from his body, shrouding the entire secret chamber in what seed like a dense fog.
After an unknown amount of ti, the secret blood finally cald down, and Lou Yi’s state gradually returned to tranquility.
He was amazed to find that even without observing the True Intent Chart, without deliberately activating the Breathing Technique.
The secret blood, though at a slow pace, flowed steadily and confidently along a set path within, quietly growing.
It was as if operating the Yellow Extre Breathing Technique had beco instinct, occurring incessantly.
The implication of this was obvious.
Lou Yi glanced at the attribute panel:
[Na: Lou Yi]
[Age: 19/68]
[Realm: Three-Blood Martial Artist (110/600)]
[Cultivation Technique: Yellow Extre Breathing Technique (Second Stage, Minor Achievent 0/1000 2 Nirvana Divine Flowers), Hu Family Breathing Technique (Not Started 0/10)]
[Skills: Lou’s Axe Skill (Minor Achievent 0/500), Extre Fist (Mastery 0/100), Stone Throwing (Mastery 0/30), Light Body Technique (Minor Achievent 0/200), Basic Spear Technique (Beginner 0/6), Secret Skill: Dragon Piercing Technique - Fragnt (One), Qi Locking Technique (Beginner 0/3)]
[Talents: Petrification (Minor Achievent 0/1000 5 White Dew Stones 1 Star Cold Iron), Swift (Proficient 0/100 1 Celestial Silkworm Silk), Disguise (Beginner 0/50 1 Earth Jade)]
[Energy: 612]
After observing the True Intent Chart, the second stage of the Yellow Extre Breathing Technique impressively advanced from Mastery to Minor Achievent!
Not only did it save 300 points of energy.
But also, when Lou Yi clicked on the ’*’ symbol on the top right of the realm, a prompt appeared: Breathing Technique Minor Achievent, after practice each day can increase proficiency by thirty points.
The speed increased threefold from before.
This ant that Lou Yi needed just over two weeks of effort to advance to Four-Blood.
A little over a month of effort would lead to advancent to Five Blood Great Circulation!
Upon reaching Great Circulation, bones undergo significant strengthening, leading to a massive increase in strength.
With his current state, without using the Dragon Piercing Secret Technique, he could already unleash a force of over ten thousand pounds in one punch.
If he advanced to Great Circulation, how much strength could he achieve, how much would his abilities improve?
Lou Yi eagerly anticipated.
